Farming Simulator 22 - "Online Required: NO" but still refuses to start offline
My firewall blocks apps' internet connections by default, so I'm trying to figure out whether I really need to whitelist this game for single player to work, because Heroic says online is not a requirement.
So when I launch the game through Heroic, it just gets stuck on the loading screen and I see it trying to connect online in my firewall app.
If I check "Run Game Offline" or launch the exe directly, then I get a warning about having to be logged in.
Other games (though not all) work fine without allowing them through the firewall, even some marked as "Online Required: YES" like The Callisto Protocol despite connection attempts, so I wonder what exactly "Online Required" even means.
PCGamingWiki doesn't mention it requiring a constant internet connection to work, only for multiplayer obviously, but I could update it if needed:
